Irritability

[Burninator]

Has anyone else noticed initial irritability from new strains that are especially potent? It’s something I’d forgotten about because it’s been so long since a new strain really affected me differently enough from all the others for it to happen, but I took some TFH Yellow Samarinda tonight (which is out of this world good) and was reminded about it. It always ends up fading, but there’s definitely a period of irritability while I’m adjusting to the strain.

Anyone else?

Dude, yes. I thought it was just my job getting me irritated, busy things be happenin and I’ll get heated within myself. It really is with the potent ones! I also had to think too, if it was that time of the month for me too. I tend to PMS and have anger or feeling blue. But it does fade for me as well. I also noticed with the TFH strains, they don’t have that underlying sedated feel too. Usually I’ll feel that in the background with most kinds. But TFH is like brighter or lighter, not so heavy feeling. I think that adds to the irritation since I’m not sluggish feeling but, once I recognize that, I have the ole mind over matter trick with my irritation and redirect myself!

Ha. I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s kind of irritating actually (heh heh)

I think it depends on the mood I’m in before hand. If I’m a little aggravated with work then I can feel a little Extra irritable, but if I’m having a great day and work is going well then after I dose it becomes a REALLY great day! I try to pay attention to my mood and mind set before hand to see if that has any reflection on how my burn turns out, I believe it sometimes does.

I usually get irritated with over stimulation or over dosing a good strain And it’s mostly with white stains but from time to time it could be a fast green or red so I cut my dose by .50 at a time til it levels out but it hasn’t happened with TFH I usually get that clean energy feel but then again I dose lower than usual with his leaf maybe try a little lower dose might work for you, I hate being edgy so I know that feeling well good luck to you and happy burning

I get this with a lot of green strains. I actually got really irritable 2 of the tfh whites I just got which is unusual because I'm usually fine with whites. My doses are usually 2.5-2.8. Also, sounds are louder and harsher and light is more garish and I feel jittery so that adds to the irritability. Mine usually fades but I'm not left with much for positive effects. I'm going to try to half my dose for the 30 year wild and the wild crafted and see if I get better results. Also, I haven't been keeping close track but I suspect my negative reactions are mostly happening during my pms week.

Blending yellow with green does it to me. I learned my lesson.

YES! Definitely is happening right now with my new TFH whites.

What I did was change from my usual 3.5-4g dose to 1g in about 10oz of water with flavor drops and drank half to start then the rest over the next hour.

An hour later I mixed 1g in about 10oz of water with flavor drops and drank about 1/4 of it at a time over the next hour. I actually got so much more out of it.

Every few hours I mixed another bottle the same way. I used less and felt so much better! I knew it might be stronger Kratom, but didn’t expect this! I stay home all day, so it’s convenient for me to do it this way.

I usually use 3.5-4g 3 times a day every day and mix in the least amount of water To gulp it down. I plan to try this way for a while and see how it goes. I’ve done it for 3 days already, using Mitraman and it worked great too.

TFH Yellows affect me exactly the opposite. My experience with cannabis is downright embarrassing: Tried it when I was 17 then never touched it again. After it was legalized, I had to buy some (several decades later) just to remind myself why it kinda sucked. Sparing the details, TFH Yellows gave me that "I'm okay with the world" feeling that weed only promised.

But, oh hell yes, some kratom made me irritable. The irritability came (as from others here) from over stimulation. I know what it's like to OD on Double Espressos. In my case, down THREE of those bad boys like shots, fly so high that you can hear your own wings rustling, feel your eyes trying to roll back - maybe not because you are looking at the sky anyway . Then an hour later, instead of riding the wind you are changing into a night-shirt because you done CRASHED. 280 mg of caffeine will send you straight between the sheets.

If ONLY an especially potent green would have sent me nicely to bed . I don't know what coke is like, but at least two dynamite greens have moved me into another 'phase' of reality - I was vibrating about 10 times harder than anything else; nothing could slow down the nervous system. A little bit more and I would have entered Scarlett Johansson's turn as the gal in the film Lucy!!. And there was nothing pleasant about it. Again, sleep would have rounded out the experience nicely but, instead, I was hyperactive, felt hyper-aware and, therefore, suspected everything I read and heard was some kind of BS. Drinking loads of water and eating food didn't help much either. This only happened twice, so I start slow with greens now. It's horrible imagining yourself as a God/Goddess - an unforgiving one. We say things we recognize as hurtful later on. So, Start small and slow with those new strains by sisters and brothers. It's not hard to apologize; but will our apology be accepted?
